As with other citrus oils, orange is very rich in limonene, a constituent that has been studied for its antitumoral properties. So I would personally incorporate it in any cancer treatment protocols.

Orange oil is excellent to add to a massage oil as it helps with fluid retention and may be excellent for cellulite.

Caution: As with all citrus oils you can not use orange on your skin if you are going in the sun within 24 hours. Photosensitizing, which means it will discolor the skin.
